Length: 50 cm Width: 50 cm Height: 36 cm A brief history of the side table Born in the 17th century under the name "guéridon," the side table owes its origin to the Moorish slaves [called guéridons] depicted on the sculpted legs of the early models brought from Italy. This nomadic piece of furniture revolutionized social life at court by allowing the rigidity of large buffets to be broken and creating conversation islands anywhere in the room. Its light and compact structure was designed to be moved as needed: to place a candelabrum, a cup of tea, or a bedside book.
